Today’s prompt is: The finest moment of your life

It could have been the birth of my children, my gaining my University degree, my retirement from work.

But the most life changing moment was leaving my marriage. This moment signalled the end of years of abuse and torment. It allowed me to establish good relations with my children, find my own place in the world and create a life from which I was able to grow.

I did suffer for my decision but as I discovered the price of freedom is priceless. I was aided by the support of my children who knew what my life had been like. Without them by my side, I may not be where I am today.
